Safety, trust & environment

I'm a very detail-oriented person in everything I do. I also can appreciate whatever lengths a pet owner will go to, having been there myself. You take these two traits, and there's no instruction too specific for me!

Information Alex B. would like to know about your pet

The most important thing is knowing boundaries. Let me know what lines the pet doesn't want crossed, and we'll get along famously! Beyond that, it's nice to know ahead of time their usual temperament, so that I notice them acting off.

A typical day

Back when I lived with my father and his dog, we would drive out to a dog park and let him go crazy! Outside time should be as liberating as possible, so I like to walk around engaging places, especially parks and other areas with greenery.

Fantastic friend to family felines!

Pet care experience

I've found I have a gift when it comes to getting along with animals. I was cat-sitting for my neighbor as young as 15, and that cat was scared of EVERYTHING. After a few visits however, we became good friends!

Alex was available to watch Juni last minute and was responsive over messaging. He was very attentive in asking about her care instructions before the visit. I would definitely book again!

Alex was wonderful! I needed a dog sitter at the last min and Alex was able to come for a meet and greet the same day and was very patient with my dog who was a little shy at first. My dog hasn't had an overnight sitter outside of my family before so I was a little nervous about leaving him, but Alex did a fantastic job. He responded to my messages quickly and sent cute photo updates.

Alex was amazing! Excellent communicator and great at interacting with our very standoffish cat. Came home to a clean litter box and a happy, fed cat. Will definitely be using him again for future visits for our cat. Thanks Alex!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
